"If the universe needs a cause, what caused God?" In this episode, Dr. Sean McDowell and Dr. Tim Pickavance dive into the metaphysical heart of the universe's origin. They move past the scientific data of the Big Bang to explore the logicbehind it. Discover why "nothing" is incapable of creation, why the laws of mathematics are "causally effete," and why an infinite past would make the present moment impossible to reach. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this philosophical breakdown offers a rigorous look at the "Voice of Reason" behind existence itself.
